“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”1 Thessalonians 5:18
Everything? Sometimes we don’t want to give thanks. Especially when life gets hard… We want to gripe and complain.
Who is the author of this verse? The apostle Paul. Once he became a Christian, his life got tough. Imprisoned, beaten, mistreated for the cause of Christ. Most likely he penned this from the prison, which was much like a dungeon.
So, if Paul can be thankful “in” all things, why can’t we? When we are continually thankful, and pray, we feel the peace of God which passes all understanding.
In this month of Thanksgiving, Community Church Ministry is busy doing Thanksgiving dinners in 5 different neighborhoods.
And, we are making preparations to do 10 Christmas parties! We are in need of individually wrapped candies and snack cakes. Also, volunteers to help with these events. The first one will be a “triple header” on December 2nd. We don’t expect you to be at all of them. Any time you can help is appreciated! The schedule is on our website and on our Facebook page.
Community Church Ministry is thankful for you, and your continued support with prayer, presence and provision for us. God bless you!
